What’s going on? I’m paying for a service that isn’t delivering. Releasing from the archives episodes repeatedly isn't what people signed up for. If the host has lost her passion that’s totally fine but stop the subscriptions if that’s the caseRead full review »

I absolutely love your podcast and have been listening to you for years! I recommend you to my friends but I’m getting a little confused and disappointed. I understand things come up, you have a family ect but the constant favs from the archive is getting annoying. I’m sure all the subscribers...Read full review »

Zoe, I have loved your podcast for as long as you’ve existed. Your guests are remarkable in so many ways and you treat them with compassion, non-judgment and provide a safe space. I am however a bit annoyed that you’ve mentioned on a few podcasts (not just your own) that The Deep is an Apple case...Read full review »

Have loved your podcast for years now, thanks Zoe. An avid Deeper listener than really enjoys a new episode drop ~ never quite knowing what I’m going to learn about upon that commute to work! Cheers, Shen

I have been a long time listener and have tried to ignore your total ignorance and self absorbed attitude to people’s real life, challenging stories but the King Cross one has done it for me. You did not let this man finish a sentence without you jumping in and speaking over the top of him and...Read full review »

Host’s slow, drawn out speech and over enunciation of every word is just grating. Always turning topic of discussion back to herself. Just cannot get through a full episode.
Bextar99 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/18/24
Love listening to different topics that impacts people everyday. The host gives space to people which is amazing, definitely 5 stars 💖💖💖💖💖

As a Deeper subscriber I LOVE opening my podcast app and seeing a new episode with Zoe and The Deep pop up. Zoe is an incredible interviewer and podcast host, she is thoughtful, real and raw and it feels like she really gets the absolute best out of her guests. I am obsessed with this podcast and...Read full review »

This is the only podcast I subscribe to and it is worth it in every way shape in form. It has opened my eyes to so many sides of life and I feel like I learn, feel listened to and grow so much from every episode

Everyone talking over each other. The word “like” is too repetitive.
Kerry Salinger via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/14/24
This is actually my second time leaving a review as I was looking for the comment section for each episode but somehow I’ve stumbled across reviews and I am absolutely baffled at the fact that there is negative comments. I don’t think anyone else could ever deliver these hard conversations in...Read full review »

It’s so impossible to stop listening. I have almost run out of episodes to listen to and only been listening about 6 months. I delete a number without listening as the trigger warnings or title tell me it’s not for me. But the ones I do listen do blow me away.
Coplelandklb via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 01/28/24
When this podcast first started I was obsessed. Then when Zoe got pregnant she changed the podcast into a pregnancy one and well, that was the beginning of the end.. once Zoe had all the pregnancy talk out of her system and finally went back to the range of topics we love I came back but I’ve...Read full review »

Don’t know why I have bothered paying for the subscription when the episodes NEVER or RARELY play on Apple Podcasts
ElleCee.47 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/24/23
I love your pod! I subscribe but the cafe survivor pod won’t play no matter how many times I try. All the other ones work. I can’t wait to listen to it!(:
MissMae7777 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/23
Great podcast and great topics but the intro message is sooo slow and annoying. The first episode I listened to was the Port Arthur episode which was fascinating but the host asked questions that sounded like she hadn’t researched the event before hand. It could have been the host trying to get...Read full review »

I look forward to listening every single week,Zoe’s ability to ask questions,understand and hold space for these incredible people is nothing short of amazing! Truely an incredible podcast 😀
Malise R via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/12/23
Zoe has some jaw dropping stories on her show, some are very well researched and great to listen to, others are too much on the surface. I also dislike that there is a part 1 which is free of a story and part 2 is only for subscribers like the recent satanic cult one. I would have not listened to...Read full review »
Froggy/13 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 11/29/23
This host needs to learn the art of listening and to stop relating her personal story to everything - seriously your guest are interesting - you are not -- very self indulgent / you are actually privileged so please develop some humility and cut the fake voice out ! Unsubscribe from me
Cho Ku via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/26/23
I used to love the deep and subscribed to the deeper but I feel as though Zoe’s passion has gone. Non interesting topics, reruns etc. the deep/deeper has definitely gone down hill unfortunately
aussiechick18 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/25/23
First and last time listening. Terrible 😣
roosul via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/14/23
This podcast would be so much better if the host stop talking over the guest. Very hard to pick up the information that the guest is giving because she keeps interrupting and overpowering the conversation.
xxxppp1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/23
Used to love the deep but without being a subscriber I can’t listen to any new eps only archive favs.
sausagecall via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/05/23
Zoe, please start taking feedback on board and stop interrupting your guests! You have wonderful guests who have interesting stories to tell and you make it so hard to continue listening. Not everything needs to relate back to you. I loved the low tox ep but you made it unbearable to finish. You...Read full review »

I had to stop listening, Zoe is off in Zoe land and lacks common sense. Her sultry voice feels exaggerated and uncomfortable.
sobergal1 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/30/23
I do enjoy the topics explored on The Deep. However, it’s really evident that Zoe is not truly listening to the guests, as she often interrupts, and it seems like there’s an urgency for her to say her piece. It’s quite unsettling when guests responses are trampled by Zoe interrupting. Hence...Read full review »
Curlyjean1992 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/29/23
I have to agree with everyone who notes the interruptions. I do feel they are consistent and Zoe doesn’t seem to value the guest. She needs to listen more and talk (about herself) less. It’s frustrating and unprofessional.
Victoria Sommerville via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/24/23
Amazing people share their unbelievable stories with vulnerability and honesty!!! This podcast is in my top 3!!! Zoe’s voice is heartwarming and sympathetic!! Keep up the good work u ace it every time!! ♥️💗
Lillypikelets via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/23/23
Really enjoyed this podcast in the beginning now most episodes are for subscribers only it’s all about the money so have unsubscribed and will listen to other great podcasts instead!
julz🍹 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/22/23
I really enjoyed this show in the beginning but as it’s gone on, I can’t listen anymore and have needed to unsubscribe. Zoe’s interview style feels careless and reckless and has left me consistently feeling complicit in listening to what I would describe as trauma porn.. I feel as though Zoe has...Read full review »
G2875112 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/21/23
So much potential. I often find I try to go back to this podcasts because the topics and guest’s stories ARE genuinely so interesting! Hearing Zoe’s forced sultry voice asking if I have subscribed instantly reminds me why I get so annoyed. Alas I push on. BUT I barely finish the episodes due to...Read full review »

Ok
The topics are interesting but Zoe comes across as a little insincere.
KT118! via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/05/23
Yawn. Gotten boooooring
MissRaphael3 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/01/23
She interrupts constantly, seems extremely self centered and her interview style is rubbish.
Zap Brannigan777 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/26/23
I think it’s incredibly inappropriate to interview people who have been through such horrific trauma when you clearly have no education or skills in trauma. Do you realise that you are making their trauma worse? Your focus seems to only be on sensationalising and profiting from others.
ncholxz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/23/23
Such a wonderful wide range of topics and Zoe’s voice is so easy to listen to. I listened to every episode since the very beginning and can’t wait for more.
Jewells W via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/21/23
The host interviews interesting people poorly. The podcasts and stories aren’t particularly structured, so the conversations ramble. The guests speak better than the host. The host asks multiple questions at once which doesn’t help the guests form cohesive answers. The host has many judgements,...Read full review »
NotEnoughCats via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 07/11/23
The work Zoe does is a gift of god. Creating a space for people to share their most vulnerable stories, traumas and pain is incredible. Pushing through her own pain and turning it into a positive thing for other people. Thank you Zoe.
laurenodea via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/21/23
Asking how often kids die in ICU ?? What’s the worst thing they’ve seen?? No insight just using the guests for shock value. Hearing different perspectives and having an emotional reaction is valuable but the nature of this podcast is just voyeuristic.
morbidlyobeseworm via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/17/23
Unsure why there are so many negative reviews. I look forward to the new episodes dropping each week. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Zoe! ☺️
MissJessES. via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/12/23
I absolutely loved this podcast when it started. So many interesting stories but I feel this year I only ever see old stories re-shared or subscribers only. The ones that are free I never finish because the conversations bore me. I’m really sorry because you stated off so well, I even voted for...Read full review »

I listen to this almost every night before bed and I love it! Zoe has a great voice, she asks all the questions I would ask too, she is empathetic and understanding and she interviews some really interesting people! Her voice is really relaxing for bedtime. I don’t know why there are any bad...Read full review »

Edit: the woman with two vaginas; Your exaggerated reactions are really disconcerting. A little more professionalism in your interviews would be appropriate. As someone with disabilities myself, it feels rude that you’re gasping and continually comparing the experience of your guest to you and...Read full review »

Manifesting money?!? Really??….. But only if you pay $9.95. Immediate unfollow.
meegsmcc via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/25/23
I was recommended this podcast by a friend but I cant stand the hosts style. She doesn’t lead the guests to tell their story in a natural way… it’s like “here are my questions, answer them”….
alsnxu via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/22/23
Love the podcast but feel a bit disappointed as a subscriber when there are so many re runs of episodes being shared. Thinking of unsubscribing if I’m not paying for new episodes. It’s a shame but feel like it’s not worth the money at this point. Otherwise, I love the podcast.
sophleeb via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/19/23
I’ve been listening to the Deep since the beginning, starting years ago. Initially, I was frustrated with Zoe’s lack of proper interviewing skills and appropriate techniques but thought it would get better over time. Alas, it has not. Ask 1 question Zoe, not 10 at the one time. Too often Zoe can...Read full review »
BTMag via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/11/23
I have just listened to Part 2 of the Family Rapist. Zoe, as a host was completely disrespectful and disappointing when interviewing the victim/survivor. She used language that was patronising and almost glamorising child sexual assault. The questions were intrusive, uncomfortable and...Read full review »
evecorr via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/26/23
I really like the premise of this podcast, and the episodes/content are very human, raw and compelling. Zoe is sensitive and gentle - but she seems to lack a solid understanding of how complex trauma works (for example, around child sexual assault and working memory). I also find her constant...Read full review »
